Create a Control rig
 
 
 

Once you have a skeleton with a valid character definition, you can create a Control rig for your character. Characters must have a Control rig in order to receive retargeted animation.

NoteA Control rig is automatically created for your character when you select either Control Rig or another character as its Source in the Character Controls, and you do not have to manually create the rig.

To create a Control rig

  1. Load an HIK character with a valid character definition. (See Create a HumanIK character definition.)
  2. Open the Characterization Tool, Character Controls, or Skeleton Generator. (See Open the HumanIK character setup tools.)
  3. Select your HIK character from the Current character menu.
  4. From the main menu button , select Control Rig > Create.

    The Control rig effectors are created based on the structure of the character’s skeleton (defined in the Characterization Tool).

To change the default appearance of existing Control rig effectors

  1. In the Character Controls, select > Control Rig > Rig Look, then select the effector type you want:
